My condolences to the Gobble family. I had the privelege of knowing Stev while growing up in Springfield. We lost touch after I joined the military. Stevhan is impossible to forget if you've ever crossed paths. He had a great heart and I will always remember him.

To the Gobble family, Stevhan started at Dogone fun together and we were the two to pickup the dogs and take them to day care at Dogone fun. Stevhan and I had a big task in finding out the route but we did it. Stevhan was a down to earth guy and my friend. I will miss him

Dear Gobble Family,
I am an old friend of Stevhan, but he has always been in my heart. Stevhan had a uniqueness unlike no other I have ever met. His memory will stay alive for all who knew him forever and his spirit will overwhelmingly fill your heart whenever you need him. If you have never met him and are reading this guest book, please know how much this man has touched so many people, like me, for 40+ years.

We are clients of Dogone Fun. Stevhan loved every dog and person there. Stevhan was the first person that my shy dog Liberty gravitated to when she first started going there. She loved to be cuddled by him.
So sorry for your loss.

To the Gobble Family
Be assured that my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. Keep the good memories close to your hearts and allow them to bring you some comfort. I loved Stevhan as I love the rest of you. I watched him grow into a teenager who was so comfortable with who he was. I wish I had been around to see him grow into adulthood, but it appears he stayed pretty much the same. I am sure God has welcomed him home with open arms. God bless you all. I love you and will see you on Sunday.
